Follows an ice princess who emerged from a poor upbringing and rough childhood
in Portland, Oregon to rise to the top of the sport of figure skating with a
ferocious determination and athleticism that allowed her to become the first
American woman to complete the triple axel in major competitions. That
propelled her to victory in the 1991 U.S. Figure Skating Championships and
second in the World Championships.
She was expected to battle Nancy Kerrigan for gold in the 1994 Olympic Games
in Lillehammer. Of course, Harding is mostly known for the infamy that occurred
when her husband, Jeff Gillooly, and a couple of hired thugs tried to
incapacitate Kerrigan by breaking her leg. They merely bruised Kerrigan, got
caught, and Gillooly turned against his wife as he tried to stay out of jail.
